Face of Summer

This is my first post in a very long time as I have been on my summer holidays. Therefore, I decided to dedicate my most recent self-portrait to the summer break. My pair of sunglasses are a reference to the sun, which is essentially right at the centre of the season and of the holidays - while the expressionless face is a reference to rest and relaxation. This self-portrait of mine was taken with my Ricoh R8.

An Evening like This

Evenings like this are great opportunities for me. The light shines through the curtains like bright gold shafts. If I bring out my camera and I'm lucky, I can capture some great shots, like this one of a vase in my living room. I took this picture with my Ricoh R8.

Chasing Waterfalls

Don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all - but I think you're moving too fast. A picture, taken with my Ricoh R8, and inspired by this awesome song by TLC.

What is Truth?

Truth is like light. Without it you are in a dark world, which you then start imagine is in your head - however when it shines, you find out that the figment of your imagination you thought you were living in, is far fetched from the real world - for better or for worse.

Le Chien est Malade

Today, my dog fell ill. Nonetheless, I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of it as it would not move about, making it easy for me to capture a few good shots. This one is probably my favourite, an ambiguous looking fur ball perched atop a chair. This picture was taken with my Ricoh R8.

The Tree and the Wind

This is a connection, between the wind that blows, gentle and mild, and the hard and stable tree strongly rooted in the ground. Together, they made this beautiful picture - a long exposure photograph taken with my Ricoh R8 when I was going for a walk.

The Goldfish Cloud

It was Easter last Sunday and there was no time for revision. Instead, I took my camera out, attempting to take a few good shots. Indeed, I did. This picture is nothing fancy, just a simple cloud over a building, but look closer and you'll find out there's more to it than you think. Taken with my Ricoh R8.

All Eyes on You

I took this picture when I was walking back to school from a Plaza nearby. I had originally perceived it to be a fail due to its blurriness, however when I had uploaded into my computer, my perception changed completely upon noticing the black gem. Taken with my Ricoh R8.

Crystal Balls

I was reviewing my physics paper a minute ago, and I got all the god-damn light related questions wrong. Just when I thought that the whole topic of light was a pain in the ass, I stumbled upon this picture. Indeed, light is beautiful. A photograph taken with my Ricoh R8.

Loosing Leaves

Hopefully I will be able to 'hibernate' this weekend where I will be able to catch up on all that much needed sleep. I took this picture with my Ricoh R8 when I was on holiday in Adelaide, Australia - right in the middle of winter.

Paradigm Shift

Does this look like a decorative element which gives our gardens that nice fresh feeling, or traps filled with blades that are capable of hurting or piercing ? Go on, you decide. This picture was taken with my Ricoh R8.

A Bittersweet Symphony

I was inspired to take this picture after listening to the song called Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. Truly, this life is a bittersweet symphony, trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die. Taken with my Ricoh R8.

An Old Winding Road

Lake Gardens is known as Kuala Lumpur's version of Central Park. I however, beg to differ. Environmental activists should get their ass over here to see for themselves. They'll be in for one hell of a shock. Taken with my Ricoh R8.

The Tower's Side

If it weren't for the title, I would have probably told you that it was some yellow coloured gem and you would probably believe it. But no, this is one of the Petronas Twin-Towers from the side up. Taken with my Ricoh R8.

It Says it All

Ah, the urge to piss, and the amazing feeling once you've let it go. I took this picture in Hahndorf, a town I visited during my summer holiday in Adelaide, Australia. It really does says it all. I took this picture with my Ricoh R8.

Eat This

I remembered a certain something my uncle had told me to do many years back. He asked me to pluck the flower, cut the top part of it and suck - sweet nectar in it. I came across these flowers and did the exact same thing today. Care to try one ? Taken with my Ricoh R8.
